Accommodation of 34 m2 and 4.5 m in height, divided by a load bearing wall in two rooms of similar size, located in El Born in Barcelona.

Assuming this separation, the housing project divides into two areas:

The first consists of the kitchen and a mobile cabinet, which operates as a bar, kitchen side table and dining table. It is a social area linked to the driveway, which improves the electrical installation and use television to spread beyond the mere fact of cooking and eating.

The second stay, however, responds to needs of a greater degree of privacy. That is why the space is fragmented into different trays that house the program in height, providing a gradient of intimacy without losing the visual connection between them.

Thus, the first tray, which occupies half the area of ​​this room, is understood as an ambiguous space dressing room and study area. The second highest one-quarter of the plant surface, contains the space for a bed.

For the resolution of this scheme in height, are particularly important furniture, adapting to different places, meeting the urgent need for storage, and the connection and relationship between levels.

Neglecting current standards of habitability and construction, it gives each area the necessary scale for each item and use the appropriate features.

The spaces are formed depending on the size and privacy they require, and wealth is given by the relations generated between them. For this reason, rather than speaking of space "up" or "below", we can talk of "spaces between", "spaces next to" or "spaces."

A little dangerous without proper railings but I love it. The wood looks to be a plywood material which I am seeing more and more as a design element.

It has it's moments.. But, the thing is, it seems past the time for us humans to be using organic materials - such as wood, for construction purposes. We needn't cut down trees anymore. They serve a better purpose.. just being trees.. and as a byproduct, they convert C02 into... oxygen.. a nice gas for us to have around.

El Morgue.
I'd be terrified at the sight of the dining table on wheels in that environment.
